DOOR.

SEEGIFIGATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 682,635, dated September17, 1901.

Application filed June 13, 1901. Serial No. 64A03. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

citizen of the United States, residing at Denoon, in the county ofVVaukesha and State of WVisconsin, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Doors; and I do declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it ap- 1o pertains to make and usethe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to thefigures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in doors; and its object is toconstruct a door adapted to swing into two doorways.

A further object is to construct two casings at an angle to each otheradapted to be severally closed by a single door, so that when onedoorwayis open the other may be closed.

My invention will be found useful in various constructions andsituations, particularly in connecting rooms with a hall, closet, orbath-room desired to be used in common by occupants of both rooms; also,in connecting or dividing rooms en suite, andin various other buildingconstructions. Its use will result in the saving of one door andfittings, thereby cheapening construction.

With these and other objects in view my invention is hereinafterdescribed, and illustrated in the drawings, in which Figure 1 is aperspective view of a construetion embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a'5 horizontal section. Fig. 3 is a detail in perspective of the hingeused in the construction; and Fig. 4 is a horizontal section of thehinge as attached to door and jamb, parts of which latter are brokenaway.

Referring more particularly to the draw ings, two door-casings 6 and 7are joined at one side, at an angle to each other, to a s ln= gle jamb8, to which the door 9 is hung. The face 8 of the jamb is preferablypresented at an equal angle to each doorway, and the edge of thehanging-stile of the door is beveled on each side, as at 9*, so that itmay swing either way, and for the same purpose a four-leaved hinge 10 isemployed, having two leaves 10*, which are adapted to be secured to thedoor- 56 jamb, and two others, 10 ,Wl1lGh are adapted to be secured toopposite sides of the beveled edge of the door 9. It is evident thatother suitable forms of hinge might be used. The hinge is attachedmidway between the edges of the face 8 of the jamb. The ordinary formsof strike-plates and door-stops may be attached tothe casings; but thelock is pro= vided with a double-beveled knob bolt or spring-latch 11,so that both casings will be readily engaged thereby. The key-bolt maybe of the ordinary form. 1

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is"- 1. Two door-casings joined together atone side at an angle to each other, a jamb at the junction, and a doorhinged to the jamb, the hanging-stile of the door having a double bevelat its edge. 7o
